 Museum of natural history in vienna
Emperor Leopold II (1747-1792) followed Joseph II after the latter's death in 1790 as sovereign.
Leopold II was succeeded on the Imperial Throne by Franz II (1768-1835).
The management of this new Natural History Museum in Vienna is taken over by Carl von Schreibers, who has already taken part under Leopold II in the revision of the Natural History Collection - although only as a sideline - he has also the Chair of Natural History at the University of Vienna.

 George Glazer Gallery - Fitzinger Turtle Prints
Leopold Fitzinger was a vertebrate biologist whose contributions to the field were honored by academies in Vienna, Naples and Philadelphia and by numerous scholarly societies.
He arrived at the Natural History Museum of Vienna as an unpaid trainee at the age of 15 charged with organizing the reptile and fish collections at at time when the institution was reshaping itself from a royal "collector's cabinet" to a scientific research institution.
Fitzinger obtained a permanent curatorial position at the museum in 1844, and was placed in charge of the reptile and mammal collections.

 paleonet Dinosaur Genera List update #186
In it Fitzinger described a partial fossil reptile skeleton, found by him in 1833 in the collection of the Prague National Museum, under the name Palaeosaurus sternbergii: a new genus and new species.
It certainly is not a nomen nudum, having been properly described by Fitzinger in 1840.
Fitzinger, 1840 also carried earlier uses of the names Therosaurus and Hylosaurus than I had listed in previous issues of Mesozoic Meanderings (both were attributed to Fitzinger, 1843).

The genus Chelodina was erected by Leopold Joseph Fitzinger (1802-1884) in 1826 to apply to the Australian long-necked turtles with the type species, Chelodina longicollis (Shaw, 1794) being the only member at the time.
Fitzinger was in charge of the reptile and mammal collections at the Natural History Museum of Vienna.

 Re: Hello and a question about Iguanodon mantelli (long)
The erect stance of Iguanodon as determined by Owen evidently impressed Austrian naturalist Leopold Joseph Fitzinger, who in 1843 produced a compendious Latin tome titled Systema Reptilium, classifying all the then-known reptilian genera and species.
Ther is the classical Greek stem-word employed for mammals in zoology, and Fitzinger used the name Therosaurus mantelli for Iguanodon mantelli.
Fitzinger's name Therosaurus was rejected through disuse and synonymy and has only historical interest today.

The 4cm (1 inch) long specimen of Osteopilus fitzinger was found virtually inert in the temperature-controlled hold of a Jamaican banana ship during a random check on cargo pallets.
At the age of 15, an Austrian boy called Leopold Fitzinger won the job of reorganising the fish and reptile collection at Vienna's natural history museum.
Between 1826 and 1861 his name was given to scores of newly discovered species, including the bow-footed gecko, the narrow-mouthed toad and Lara's ancestors, which were discovered in 1843.

He was so confused by it, in fact, that he brought his specimens to Leopold Fitzinger, the curator of reptiles at the Imperial Museum in Vienna.
They looked like fish, with gills and a fin, but when Fitzinger probed down their throats, he found what looked, absurdly, like the traces of a lung.
Fitzinger settled on the title of reptile but only lightly, given how badly gutted his specimens had been -- "victims," in his words, "of Natterer's too passionately executed chase." Natterer himself had thought it was a fish, but he bowed to Fitzinger's expertise.

Dr. Fitzinger, in his book 'Der Hund und seine Racen' states that there are no less than six very distinct varieties of poodles, viz.: der grosse Pudel, der mittlere Pudel, der kleine Pudel, der kleine Pintsch, der schnür Pudel, and der Schaf-Pudel, besides other, but minor, varieties, produced by crossing.
His similarity to the great poodle and the Calabrian (?) dog induces Dr. Fitzinger to think that it is a double bastard, as it is a perfect link between these two breeds.
He has the hair of the first; but his size and general appearance are like those of the second.

Therefore, the Australian Biodiversity Record recommends that any article copied be a full and complete copy to ensure that due credit is given to authors and to also allow their information to be considered in accurate context.

Fitzinger (1856: 477; 1868: 1019, 1061, 1090) mentioned that part of Spalowsky's collection ended up in what is now the Naturhistorisches Museum Wien, and it is possible that the type material of the new species or other figured specimens may be present in that museum.
However, Dr Karl Edlinger (in litt., 20 February 1995) stated that neither Chiton auratus nor Strombus auratus could be found in the collection.
